In this week's episode(28), I had the honour of sitting down with the queen of charity and passion, Mandy Maree. We talked about her amazing journey from her as a little girl, to eventually opening up a school in Africa. We also discussed living in your heart and truth, the importance of doing one thing daily that scares you and living in your fullest expression, unapologetically. Mandy Maree is here to make a global impact. For her, pursuing her purpose is a journey of pursuing her heart. She feels she has been misunderstood her entire life, especially when she tells people her passion for serving and helping others is not what she does, it’s who she is. It's within her and has been since she was a little girl. It began with volunteering with the homeless, to building a library in Tanzania and running charity events to support not-for-profit organizations. She is now aspiring to build a youth hub to support and empower young kids through creative expression. All she knows is that her purpose is much bigger than herself and more about how she impacts the lives of others on a daily basis.
